Had Mr Reid got a couple of goals thus far (via Bliss or not) I'd tend to agree with you. But he hasnt.....I really like Blissett. His game is akin to Emile Heskey. Most people won't get him, and will bemoan a lack of killer instinct or end product. But like Mr Heskey his game was to allow those with more finesse around him to flourish. Its no shock Michael Owen was most prolific with Heskey as a partner, or England scored more and Rooney especially looked more hungry when partnered with Heskey. I see Reid and Blissett as our version of Heskey and Owen/Rooney. Blissett will never score more than 5 or 6 a season and may only actualy make 5 or 6 assists as well, but his impact and work rate will be worth 10 for the 'other' striker.
He may be a "Heskey" but lacks a "Teddy Sheringham" type of awareness; personified when he brilliantly robbed the Dartford keeper but then spent far too much time deciding what to do with the ball.
But then, had he this talent he wouldnt be playing for us!
